The Barefoot Investor

This is the only money guide you'll ever need. That's a bold claim, given there are already thousands of finance books on the shelves. So what makes this one different? Well, you won't be overwhelmed with a bunch of "tips" or a strict budget (that you won't follow). You'll get a step-by-step formula: open this account, then do this; call this person, and say this; invest money here and not there. All with a glass of wine in your hand. This book will show you how to create an entire financial plan that is so simple you can sketch it on the back of a serviette...and you'll be able to manage your money in 10 minutes a week. You'll also get the skinny on: Saving up a six-figure house deposit in 20 months Doubling your income using the Trapeze Strategy Saving $78,173 on your mortgage and wiping out seven years of payments Finding a financial advisor who won't rip you off Handing your kids (or grandkids) $140,000 checks on their 21st birthdays Why you don't need $1 million to retire...with the Donald Bradman Retirement Strategy Sound too good to be true? It's not. This book is full of stories from everyday Aussies - single people, young families, empty nesters, retirees - who have applied the simple steps in this book and achieved amazing, life-changing results. And you're next.
